Ok, so there doesn't seem to be a huge resistance to this idea. So how
about we install this stuff as part of installworld:
etc/defaults
etc/mtree
etc/periodic
etc/rc.d
the rationalle being that these are owned by the OS and not by the user.
Mergemaster can stay the same so that it can offer to delete old stuff.
I've worked long and hard on this and attached the hugely complicated
patch to the bottom of this email.
